* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: In the video, Molly's parents relate that whatever Jonah is digging for is not some "energy source" but a dangerous element by a fault line that, if struck, can cause massive earthquakes across the entire state. As they were silence before they could tell the others, the rest of the Pride is unaware of how Jonah is using them.

* BavarianFireDrill: {{Subverted}} when Karolina tries to use her status to browbeat a Church of Gibborim member into letting the group onto the dig site. He doesn't believe her and calls her father to confirm, resulting in the adults finding out about the group's plan.
* BigDamnKiss: Two of them; one between Chase and Gert (which promptly leads to [[CoitusEnsues other things]]) and another between Karolina and Nico.
* TheDogBitesBack: The implication that Graciela knows more than she's letting on is confirmed in this episode where she backstabs the Yorkes by holding off telling them about Molly's disappearance.



* HighSchoolDance: The backdrop of the episode. The kids use the dance as their excuse to go out for the night so they can sneak into PRIDE's dig site and smash up the place, though the plan ultimately falls through.
* InternalReveal: PRIDE learns that their children know about their plans, and also about Karolina's powers.
* ItMeantSomethingToMe: Chase's dejected expression when Gert dismisses their sexual encounter as a one-time fling makes it clear he thought of it as more than that.
* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: With basically all of the secrets, both of the kids and the adults, out in the open by the end of the episode, it's safe to say that the fragile status quo has finally shattered.



* PreClimaxClimax: Gert and Chase.

** The group as a whole then gets one of these when Jonah reveals that the kids know all about what PRIDE has been doing.
** Two in the closing moments back-to-back: the first when the kids make it clear that they aren't going home without a fight, and the second when Karolina activates her powers and reveals them to the adults.
* PreClimaxClimax: Gert and Chase.Chase finally act on their UnresolvedSexualTension while alone at the dance.


Added DiffLines:

* SummonToHand: Tina pulls the Staff of One out of Nico's hands from a considerable distance and into her own when PRIDE confronts the group at the dig site. She semi-sarcastically comments that she would've taught the same trick to Nico had their lessons continued.
